Storing for the winter ?

ayrton88 · 11-14-2017, 09:43 AM

I don't know how many miles I put on, but the Chicago winter was so mild last year that I never really put the Z away. Once the roads were clear of salt I took her out. Hope we have the same kind of weather this winter. That said, I'm glad I have a Toyota for my winter car.

Averaging about 13k a year on mine. Love it as a DD.

Only time I don't drive it is when I have to haul something or it's supposed to rain hard.

I only put 4000 km/2500 miles on it since I bought it in mid June. Down to 2 cars now, the Z & our Mazda, so I'm leaving the insurance on it in case I need a second car in an emergency or similar situation. Had a winter car last year but sold to the brother- in- law , so we are down to 2 for the first time in many years. May take the Z out on nice sunny dry days as I have a heated garage if it needs a bath.
